@Marko cheers, man. I can say that 2k was the hardest bracket to living through for me, so many griefers and bad decision in the game (like rosh in the wrong time, didn't take towers when there is a chance). But i have always get over it and just move on to the next games. Keep focusing on my own gameplay rather than looking for excuses about bad teammates etc helps me alot to improving my knowledge about the game.

@AnTain: Im on my early 20s rn, as a young adult who have a part time job i must say having 4-5 games per day still a bit much for a guy around my age though haha. This game sucking my life but knowing im finally reaching ancient i think its kinda paid off.

^eh 4k are mechanicaly much better than 2k but they are braindead as much and their egos are bigger than a house, so you are not really in heaven. Throwing here is much more a thing than in 2k, 2k actually tryhard to escape 4k will do anything to drag you down with them.

What i meant to say is you will find much harder to escape 4k than 2k.

^jokes on you for playing solo ranked during weekends, i also like to live dangerously

Probably some weekend warrior who doesn't play often so he cant drop his rank as fast, so he just lingers there ruining games. I cringe very hard when i see pos4/5 Rubic there is fuckton of actually useful heroes for those positions.

Yeah well 4k is a new thing for me so still need more adjustments and experiences to rate the bracket. From what i've seen so far its basically same with 3k but with more tryharders who think they should be divine at least.

The ignorants and high ego players always be there, its inevitable in every bracket because the trench is never ends.

@marko he is not a weekend warrior , but good point, i didnt noticed today and yesterday weekends(our weekends on friday) thats why from last night i cant win :)))
take a look . https://www.opendota.com/players/94773669 . guy played 8 hundred times rubick and still not +50% winrate, and guess what , we must lose gold so his godlike hero not countered (!!!!!) by enemy 3k players and he carry us :)))))))))))))))

Not at all, you are not "considered sucks" :D
In Dota everyone tells everyone that they suck, myself included, but the truth is that the average player's mmr is around 2.6k if I'm not mistaken. Anything above that number is already technically decent. So gratz and remember you are not sucks

@Kowareta yes, it technically means you're decent if it's the average. 100 IQ is average by definition, not 20 IQ, and anything higher than that goes from good to absurdly high omg what a genius plz find the cure for cancer. What society does, in every field, is it takes someone whose specific quality is out of normality, absurdly high, and makes people believe that they're standard. And what was actually average is now considered very low. You don't look like Brad Pitt? You're ugly. You don't fuck as much as Rocco does? Lol virgin. You don't earn billions? Loser. You're not at Miracle-'s level? What are you even doing here, go hide. By using this logic we became the insecure, approval and competition obsessed, narcissistic retarded society that we are. With me being the primary example of this since I'm a sad perfectionist by nature. But this doesn't make it right, it's a distorted view of reality. Even in my eyes 2ks are bad, the way I'm trash for a 5k, but that's a subjective perception based on one's level.

Congrats! I’m closing in also. Calibrated 1.6K years ago, slowly grinded my way up. The new season’s calibration was kind to me; after going 8-2, I went from 3.2K ending last season Legend 3, to 3.7K Legend 4. Just ~300 MMR to go for me

@kowareta OP never spoke about him being a genius or being the best. All he wanted was reassurance that he doesn't suck. And of course he doesn't suck, ancient is top 10% of the playerbase, which means he is a good player. But if you want to go compare him (relative) to divines or immortals then by that logic you are poor as fuck, ugly as fuck and definitely dumb as fuck because you have nothing to show that you're one of the top in either of those fields.. so, see how stupid your logic is?

So true, which is why you should always strive to live the life you want to live, instead of allowing needless comparison with others to hold you back.

Sure, competition is good for improvement, and we can always have role models to learn from and be inspired by, but ultimately, live the life you want to because you are the main character of your own life story and the book only has that many pages.
